Chapter 232 - Ruined The Mask

'Just how could that happen?' 

His fingers found their way to her eyebrows and rubbed the spot in between them, trying to remove the creases. "Well, truth be told, all of them saw me bringing you up her but none of them knew it was me." Adam explained it to her as he continued to rub her forehead. 

"How could that be possible?" Stella questioned him again saw his lips curl up in a devilish smirk. "Adam, answer me." She couldn't help but call out his name as she stressed on the latter part. 

"I have been around you for quite some time now. It's just you weren't able to recognize me." He patted the top of her head lovingly as he hugged her tightly. 

"How could that be possible?" Stella rolled her eyes even though she knew he couldn't see her doing that as her face was resting against his shoulder. 

"Umm… promise me that you won't kill me after I tell you the whole truth." He spoke up and heaved out a long sigh. He knew all hell was going to break loose after he explain it to her. 

"I promise." He heard her murmuring against his neck as she tightened her hold around his waist. There was no way she was going to push him away from herself now. She was finally able to hug him and bathe in the warmth that his embrace was providing her. 

"To begin with it, I was the one who brought you up in my arms and changed the dressing of your wound." He tilted his head so that he could have a better look on her face as he continued. "Did I forget to mention that it was me who drove you here from the mall?" He added as his voice turned down a couple of notches.

"What nonsense are you spouting? David was the one who drove me back." Stella uttered before she began to think over her own words and his as well. If he was telling her the truth, this could only mean one thing. 

"David." She muttered her under her breath but Adam still caught on it. 

"Yes, Boss." He spoke up with a smirk resting on his face. But what shocked Stella wasn't his reply, rather it was the tone of his voice. It was exactly the same nagging voice which she had gotten used to in these two days.

"You were David." She wanted to ask him about it to make sure that the conclusion she had drawn was right, but her words came out like a statement instead. 

Adam still nodded his in a yes as he corrected her at the same time. "I still am David." He smiled at her. "I needed to keep an eye on you and still hide myself from the enemy at the same time. So, I decided to ask an old friend to get me in contact with some good make artists whom he knew. He owed me favor anyways, so he helped me out with the identity and all." He explained it to her. 

Stella stayed quiet for a while as she gave herself some time to process what he had just told her. "Why did you decide to show me your face now? I mean it's just day two of your job. I mean David's job." She finally spoke up after a while. 

"I was dying to hold you in my arms and I knew I wouldn't be able to do that with the mask on." He heaved out a tired sigh as he buried his face in the crook of her neck. "And I kind of ruined my mask after tucking you in." He muttered lightly against her skin, making her to narrow her eyes at his figure.

"You!" She pinched his cheek. "If the mask wasn't ruined, then how long you would have continued to hide yourself from me?" She questioned her as she dreaded over the thought of not being able to recognize him even though he was this close to her. 

"Do you think I would have been able to keep myself away from you? I haven't spent even two full days with you and my hands were itching to touch you." As if sensing her worries, Adam tried to calm her down but it was useless as her thoughts kept drifting to the what ifs. 

"How many days, Adam?" She questioned him again as she wanted to know the exact number of days he would have kept this under wraps, hiding his own self from her. 

Heaving out a tired sigh, Adam decided to answer her honestly. "A week or two, mayne three." He couldn't bring himself to lie to his little elf.

"What did you say?" Stella gritted her teeth as she questioned him. Pushing herself away from him she narrowed her eyes, glaring at the top of his head as he tried his best to avoid looking into her eyes. The change in the tone of her voice was enough of a hint for him to know that he was screwed. 

"I asked you a question, Mr. Adam Levinson. Answer me." She asked him again as she clenched her jaw. She pinched the skin of his chin as she held it in between her fingers and tilted it upwards, making him look at her. 

Under her glaring, he finally repeated his answer from earlier. "A week or two, maybe three." 

She let out a chuckle and added sarcastically."Oh! Looks like your were enjoying yourself too much with all that teasing, weren't you? Looks like you enjoy your life much more when I am not in it." Before she could continue any further a finger landed on her lips, stopping her from spouting any more nonsense. 

"The hell you are spouting." He spoke up as he fiercely looked at her. "I cannot imagine my life without you, and you think that I would enjoy it? And are you going to turn a blind eye to the name which comes after your own." He snaked his arms around her figure and pulled her petite figure closer to his muscular one. "Mrs. Stella Levinson."
